For Sale 1972 Detomaso Pantera

Everything works as it should on this car. Body is solid and as rust free as any unrestored car. Frame was drilled for drainage many years ago to alleviate problems by engine mounts. Engine is strong and leak free. This is a NICE car.

I will include with the car complete factory maintenance manual, technical service manual, electrical schematic, ZF transaxle exploded view diagram and several necessary tools that are Pantera specific, new floor mats, rear louver (rare). I also have all receipts and history documents that go with the car. If you are looking to buy your first Pantera this one would be great, or add to your collection.
As an aircraft mechanic of 20 years I have been meticulous in the maintenance of this car. You can buy with confidence knowing you will get a quality car. Mechanically this car is superior to most. See list below of mods and repairs. I have always been a person who values the mechanical side more than cosmetic (read exterior paint). The car was repainted in 1978 to GTS color scheme and is showing wear. Paint is still glossy and looks great but definitely not show quality. The engine was professionally overhauled by Vaseleniuck Engine Development (former engine builder of Bobby Allison). Only 4K miles since overhaul. See list of below for details.
